What are your views on arranged marriage?

my whole life ive known im getting a semi arranged marriage


being being raised up muslim there are restrictions with interacting with boys, my house hold is more of a modern muslim family


at first i thought it was wrong, but im coming to consensus it might be a logical and decent way to live


what are your pros and cons on this controversial topic?What are your views on arranged marriage?
im a muslim guy and i dont think its a bad idea, as long as when you see the person you can say yes or no if you are or are not attracted to them or dont like the type of person they are.





most arranged marriages now let you meet the person and talk to them and see how they are with another person in the room such as their sister, cousin, etc. if they seem like a good person, and come from a good home and look good, why not?





i never really liked the idea growing up in miami, and its pretty easy to get a girl down here. ive been in serious relationships for the past 8-9 years. but the more i think about it now, i still live in miami, and id rather be with someone of my own culture/religon to have more in common with then some girl that is not of my religon/cultures. atleast id know she would not of been around, unlike many of the people here.





nothing personal to any of you. and im sorry if you found my post offensive, but these are just views.What are your views on arranged marriage?
It's not the arrangement of the marriage that bothers me, but the part where two people get married without actually knowing each other. I feel that you need to really know each other well, both emotionally, personally, and intimately, in order for the marriage to work.
its for sure not for me. i think you should be able to choose who you want or dont want to be with. then again marriage these days dont last so its really just whatever floats the person's boat...just its not for me. good luck in whatever you do.
Sounds good to me, sign me up.


What I have noticed is that in the majority of cases, your friends and family often know a lot better about who is a good match for you or not.
Arranged marriages have a much lower divorce rate. Maybe they're onto something.
That tradition should die a quick death.
